Casey Affleck does a superb job as a mild mannered deputy sheriff who like to beat the women he cares for. The violence is shocking at first sight. We are given only brief glimpses into the causes. The overall cast is solid. The film raises the question of what could cause human nature to become so twisted and remorseless. I found the first viewing to be deeply disturbing. I appreciated the acting more the second time. Affleck is polite and softspoken throughout, which adds to the psychotic nature of his actions. He shows good potential for work to come, making the viewer want to see him in more films. All in all, an edgy, gripping drama.
